	  <p style="; font-weight: bold;">Specialization in Film Studies &mdash; 66 credits<br />
  Major in Film Studies &mdash; 48 credits<br />
  Minor in Film Studies &mdash; 24 credits</p>
<p>The central aim of the Film Studies program is to prepare  students to become film historians and critics with a two-fold awareness of the  artistic and cultural potential of the medium and its history and traditions.</p>
<p>Courses examine some of the thousands of films made  during the century of the medium&rsquo;s history. Although the history of cinema is  brief compared to the other arts, the accomplishments are significant. Our  students come to understand the history of the medium and reach a greater  critical awareness of classical and contemporary cinema. Students learn to  analyze films in order to develop a better understanding of their  relation to society. Some courses examine film as one of the most important  arts of the 20th century while others explore its social and  political roles.</p>
  <p>Our three screening rooms are equipped with 16mm and 35mm  projection; weekly screenings  use these formats  whenever possible, alongside digital projection.</p>
